Deep Tissue Massage for pain and stress relief.When new clients visit my office in Plano, Texas, I ask them to fill out a health intake form and we discuss their goals and any pain they may be experiencing. During the intake, they often express doubts about whether I can help with their specific health condition, such as musculoskeletal issues. However, I can usually provide support for such problems.
If you're looking for a natural way to address certain conditions, deep tissue barefoot massage may be worth considering. In my experience, I've seen great outcomes for a variety of issues. From reducing muscle tension to improving range of motion, deep tissue barefoot massage may be the solution you've been searching for. Do you need to refresh your FasciAshi skills?

Since 2016, there has been an eyebrow-raising movement in Europe; the International Massage Association held its first national championship, and we all watched with many questions about what has led to the creation of competitive, performative massaging for others to judge. A worldwide "look at me lawn" for circus tricks and performance art...or massage therapy? I'm writing this because I've been conflicted about this event and need it explained. I went into a career in massage therapy for several reasons. Those who know my story know that I have anxiety and found the massage and spa environment the perfect place for me early in my adult life. The wellness space is a sanctuary for those working hard to find a sense of well-being. Over the past 20 years, I've dedicated myself to this vocation. The massage therapy industry allowed me to have my own business, write a book, and lead others in this beautiful work I hope is plain to see that I'm passionate about. According to Texas laws, the state where I'm licensed, "Massage therapy" means the manipulation of soft tissue by hand or through a mechanical or electrical apparatus for the purpose of body massage and includes effleurage (stroking), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (percussion), compression, vibration, friction, nerve strokes, and Swedish gymnastics. The terms "massage," "therapeutic massage," "massage technology," "myotherapy," "body massage," "body rub," or any derivation of those terms are synonyms for "massage therapy." Side note: If I had my way, I'd expand this to include using the feet since Texas is leading the way in Westernized Ashiatsu-style barefoot massage. Go Center for Barefoot Massage! Woot! ;) It goes on to say that massage is a healthcare service if it's done for therapeutic purposes. WOOF! This document needs work. Because we can't universally agree that massage therapy is therapeutic by design is precisely why we are now seeing the American version of this competition popping up. I'm just a dinosaur here, but what happened to our priorities? We need help to provide massage students with quality education. We need help educating the public about professional massage therapy's therapeutic benefits. We need states like California to acknowledge the need for professional exams and instill values of integrity into the massage industry. Watching a man do a headstand on his client in a public arena with onlookers clapping makes me cringe. I did some digging to find out who benefits from this competition, hoping I could get behind it for helping a worthy cause like the massage therapy foundation, but am I missing something? I found an entrance fee of over $200 and things that serve the ego more than the betterment of our craft. I'm asking those who have drunk the Kool-Aid here to explain this event because I'm lost. Congratulations to the newest group of trained Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage Therapists!
I taught this group of licensed massage therapists how to give a safe and effective Ashiatsu-Style massage. My Fundamentals workshop is three days, 24 hours of intense physical and mental work. These ladies earned it! Find out more at www.texasashiatsu.com By Hillary Arrieta.
If you're looking for a new deep-tissue massage that relieves your muscle soreness and makes you feel relaxed, Ashiatsu is an excellent choice. Ashiatsu is a generic name for a style of massage performed with the massage therapists' feet instead of their hands, like more traditional Western styles. Recently, Westerners have used the term Barefoot Massage to describe this style. I'll use the two words interchangeably in this post. 1. No pain, No pain. Do you love deep tissue massages but hate the soreness and bruising that happens with some deep tissue sessions? Barefoot massage is DEEP but leaves no telltale signs afterward. The comprehensive tool (the foot) allows deep compressions over a greater surface area. It's often more tolerable than when massage therapists dig in with their elbows and knuckles. Ouch! 2. Ashiatsu reduces chronic pain. Barefoot massage reduces dense muscle tissue, Trigger points, and restricted fascia. This technique allows tissues to rehydrate, creating a healthy slide and gliding between soft tissues. If you tend to get stiff or have nagging pain, try Ashiatsu. I suggest my clients schedule three sessions every other week to see dramatic improvements. 3. Barefoot massage is the deepest deep tissue massage available. Ashiatsu is deep by design and can't be done with light pressure. If your deep tissue massage isn't cutting it, it may be time to level up. The angles of pressure and the leverage a professionally trained, licensed massage therapist can get by standing on the massage table and using their body weight is a different sensation than one who stands at the side of the massage table, and forces pressure with their upper body. Has this post inspired you to book a deep-tissue Ashiatsu massage? If so, I see clients four days a week at my office in Plano, Texas, and teach Ashiatsu workshops for licensed massage therapists. I do a detailed consultation before your first session to customize your massage and make it safe and productive. New and returning clients are invited to schedule online. Get the best deep tissue massage in Dallas, Texas. Dallas, Texas - Deep Tissue Massage: What you need to know about the deepest, deep tissue massage available. By Hillary Arrieta, Owner of The Heeling Hut Barefoot Massage in Plano Texas. Barefoot massage, sometimes called Ashiatsu, is arguably the deepest, deep-tissue massage available at your local Dallas massage studio, The Heeling Hut Barefoot Massage. With an exotic name and slightly intimidating equipment, Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage is when the licensed massage therapist uses their feet instead of their hands to give you a massage. The result is the most profound, consistent pressure you can ask for. It's a misconception that Deep tissue is just a DEEPER Swedish massage. Swedish massage, when done correctly, is a system that includes four kinds of techniques and joint mobilizations. Many therapists skip strokes and use long-flowing movements making it less effective. Deep tissue is a collection of actions that get to the deeper layers of tissue. Most clients who love Deep massages tell me that barefoot ashiatsu massage is the BEST deep tissue massage they've ever had = locally or on vacation. When massage therapist uses overhead bar support, they can use their weight instead of forcing pressure using pokey elbows and knuckles into their muscles. Getting the best massage in the Dallas area is easy with a well-trained massage therapist.

The Heeling Hut Barefoot Massage and Wellness. Plano, Texas. When you invest in massage therapy as a way of self-care, it's natural to wonder how you can benefit most from your appointments. I'm here to share with you the habits that will get you the results you want in no time. When I start working with a client, we typically discuss their goals for their session. Clients are often trying to get rid of nagging pain, or they want to create a habit of getting massages more frequently. In the case of the first intention, I always suggest that they come in more regularly so I can help them overcome the musculoskeletal pain they might be experiencing at that time. It could be coming from stress or an injury. Either way, seeing them at least every other week three or four times is an excellent way to start. In the case of the second intention, We schedule standing appointments. They may choose a quarterly block or book appointments for the entire year. They get their preferred time every week or month and don't have to worry about scheduling. They already have all their sessions booked. Advanced booking makes it easy for them to make it a regular habit. Also, it's vital to always talk to your massage therapist about your health history and history of injuries. We can formulate the most customized session for you when we know everything. Working with a licensed therapist who knows you personally is a game changer for sports injuries, enhanced athletic performance or if you're dealing with life-related tension building up. I'm here to help you with your self-care or wellness goals. Was this blog helpful? Leave a comment! I'd love to hear from you. Hi!

​This week I talked with Julie Alexander of Handcrafted Therapy about being unique in the massage therapy business world. She shared many great insights as we sorted it all out, her journey as she expanded into a retail business, and some updates and changes in my business, turning challenges into learning lessons.
We touch on the importance of networking by centering OTHERS, not ourselves. We dive into the concept of DOING LESS - and how this is inspiring me to care for mental fatigue as a massage therapist. How modeling "doing less" in our lives and business can help our clients see the balance they are trying to achieve. If you want to learn some key points regarding Ashiatsu/ Barefoot massage, I share that here, too!
I hope you enjoy this episode and grab some inspiration and insight for your massage business. The Heeling Hut Barefoot Massage now in Plano, TexasBy Hillary Arrieta, Owner and LMT
Did you know Gaia Bodywork is now The Heeling Hut Barefoot Massage and Wellness? I recently changed the name of my massage practice to reflect the changes happening over the last few years. I've slowly grown my massage practice into a Barefoot Massage-only studio. After all the changes going on, what's one more? With this mindset, I retired Gaia Bodywork and revamped it as The Heeling Hut. You'll find more Ashiatsu and Barefoot Massage offerings as my transformation continues. The Heeling Hut will continue with GB's legacy of being Dallas, Fort Worth's premier Ashiatsu studio - now fully adopting the technology into each and everything I offer. It makes sense because I've been teaching Ashiatsu as an approved teacher with the Center for Barefoot Massage for the past four years. I'm so proud to be a part of this strong group of women taking Westernized Ashiatsu to the next level with their style, FasciAshi. Utilizing Jeni Springs's proprietary "Ashi Strap" technique, it's a thing of beauty. I hope my new name inspires my students and that my clients embrace all the changes. It's been a season. :) In Joy! Hi! I’m Hillary Arrieta and I help people improve their lives by offering holistic solutions to ease stress, eliminate pain, and inspire self care practices.
